The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit starts off with the following moves:
1. d4 d5
2. e4
OR
1. e4 d5
2. d4
Notice how I gave two different lines and variations which go into the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. It is usually reached by playing d4, and then instead of going for a Catalan Opening or Queen's Gambit we simply switch things up and offer that central pawn. However, it is a great chess gambit for e4 players as well against the Scandinavian Defense! Either black is going to go into the accepted variation (which is exactly what we want) or they will have to opt for a Nimzowitsch Defense, Caro-Kann Defense, or French Defense. All of a sudden, you have a Scandinavian Defense player transposing into a completely different opening, and that works in our favor. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is not super dangerous against Grandmaster competition, because if black plays perfectly they will reach a slightly better middlegame. However, even then the positions are playable and give white attacking chances with tons of checkmate patterns in the air. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is a fun chess opening for white that can help you improve at chess, beat higher rated players, and win games more quickly. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is also a great chess opening for beginners, and a good chess opening for intermediate players as well. It looks to put chess opening strategy, chess opening moves, chess opening tactics, chess opening tricks, and chess opening traps at the forefront of every line and variation. The Blackmar-Diemer is good for e4 players and d4 players, with the transposition of the chess opening shown above. Chess gambits and traps are fun for beginners, and really players of all levels. Similar to the Smith-Morra Gambit, we are not trying to win this game within 8 moves. We are simply giving up a pawn and in return get a rapid edge in development. The Blackmar-Diemar Gambit is also a good chess gambit for bullet chess and blitz chess, as your opponent won't have us much time to calculate and you'll be playing positions YOU are more comfortable with. This is a top tier chess gambit for white, getting exactly what you want out of it every time. We hope you enjoy learning how to play the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit!

I already saw a video on the Blackmar Deimer gambit because I wanted something to counter the Scandi. I have to say though, this video covered more lines than that one, in about the same time. Big thumbs up Solomon.

Glad you liked this one brotha and thanks for the kind words. And ya the Blackmar-Diemar is a very strong option, with it taking quite a bit of work for the Scandinavian player to know how to respond.

Hey Dennis, glad you enjoyed it brotha and found it helpful! Ya the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is a super fun option for white, and with experience you will continue to improve in it. Sort of like the Smith-Morra Gambit in that way. Again, thanks for the kind words Dennis and more on the way!

@@TheChessGiant I've been playing this against scandi since like forever, because I don't like my piece formation in any of the scandi lines. It always feels like my pieces are discoordinated, doing their own thing. With this gambit I get structure similar to von henning gambit and sorta similar to scotch gambit, both of which are in my repertoire.

Yessir! Glad to help, glad you liked it! Unless your opponents really know the theory (which most don't), the Blackmar-Diemer is an extremely dangerous gambit that can get you quick and easy wins.

Good to see a video about blackmar, was wondering when you make one. im a e4 player but i play d4 in blitz. Blackmar against d5 and trompowsky against nf6. Great blitz repertoire, but not really for a longer game. Love your videos keep it up. 😇👌🏻
@TheChessGiant 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Jeremaj! Glad you enjoyed it! The Trompowsky is also a great opening - definetely need to make a video on this soon. And ya, the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is more stressful for white than anything else in longer time controls. But, blitz? Give me the Blackmar-Diemer all day - puts a ton of pressure on black as they are usually not that comfortable and we have a big edge in attacking chances.

The games of Emil Diemer are full of many branches of this opening, (as well as playing against it). Tim Sawyer has written more than one instructive book and many articles about it. Thanks, Solomon, for distilling this 'nice surprise' for opponents expecting a more fashionable London. Cheers, buddy.

Please make a video covering everything about the Ryder Gambit variation. Although it involves sacrificing 2 pawns but still I think this opening is GREAT because you go FAR AHEAD in development for the cost of 2 pawns. I like playing it a lot. But I don't know how to continue the best way if the opponent plays the best moves and don't fall in the trap. So please guide about that. I want to know everything about the Ryder Gambit.

1.e4 d5 2.d4 is WHY I'm looking to learn the BDG! The only other "anti-scandinavian gambit" is the tennison gambit, which WILL surprise a scandinavian player the first time they see it IF you play the less sound 1.e4 d5 2.Nf3 dxe5 3.Ng5 (3.Ne5 is better), but the BDG is more sound. As a scandinavian player, I NEVER see the BDG and have only played 2 tennison players. it's a nice way to surprise scandinavians, but honestly, 1.e4 d5 2.e5 is what drives ME nuts. I can't wait to learn the BDG (via 1.d4 to start) as a 2200 player I knew actually BEAT deep blue with it in a blitz game! I forget what the opening is called, but if all 4 pawns are in the center 1.d4 d5 2.e4 e5, then 3.dxe5 dxe4? 4.Qxd1+! takes black's castling rights away. i actually BEAT chessmaster (tal personality) as a lowly 1450 when I questioned allowing the trade as black and switched sides telling tal to "prove it" and he didn't.

Ya I played the Scandinavian in my tournament days for about 3-4 years or so. I also barely so the Tennison or BDG in OTB play or online. I as well had a really hard time with 2. e5 those as I often felt I was always reaching some version of the Caro-Kann Defense/French Defense with that. I should make some more content more Scandinavian players honestly. What is your go to in the main line? Do you play 2. ...Nf6 or capture with the queen and throw it right over to a5? Gubinsky Melts? And nice work on that big win! That's great. Also wow your friend played Deep Blue that's super dope.

@@brandvi45Good player is prepared. If someone plays d5 against d4 they will have something they do against blackmar. 🤷🏻♂️ I myself play nf6 and im ready for london and trompowsky and everything else white can do, and not only for c4 what is the main move. Thats how studying openings work. Also black doesnt need to accept the ryder gambit or go for any nonsense. Just saying, ofc it works if black has never faced blackmar or does not study openings.👍🏻

@@jeremaj7513 but not accepting the gambit leads to a near drawn position especially if c6 or g6 is played. The whole point of playing unorthodox openings is that you know more about it than your opponent

@@brandvi45 The problem is black doesn't need to know any theory to avoid the Halosar trap. After 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3 exf3 5. Qxf3 Qxd4 6. Be3 you want black to move the queen to b4 (attacking the b2 pawn) to get the trap going. In my experience this move is rarely played. More often you get Qg4 (offering queen trade) and Qh4+, or even queen all the way back to d8. All of those avoid the Halosar. It's too bad as the Halosar is a very satisfying trap to land with all the threats it involves for the next several moves. I don't mind dubious traps but if they can be defended without even knowing you're avoiding a trap to begin with, they're not so good.
